¹There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.

¹以撒与亚比米勒

²Yahweh appeared to him, and said, “Don’t go down into Egypt. Live in the land I will tell you about.

²耶和华向以撒显现，说：“你不要下到埃及去，要住在我所指示你的地方。

³Live in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you. For to you, and to your seed, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.

³你要寄居在这地，我必与你同在，必赐福给你，因为我要把这全地都赐给你和你的后裔，履行我向你父亲亚伯拉罕所起的誓。

⁴I will multiply your seed as the stars of the sky, and will give to your seed all these lands. In your seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed,

⁴我必使你的后裔增多，好像天上的星那样多；我必把这全地都赐给你的后裔；地上的万国都必因你的后裔得福。

⁵because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my requirements, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.”

⁵这是因为亚伯拉罕听从了我的话，遵守了我的吩咐、我的命令、我的条例和我的律法。”

⁶Isaac lived in Gerar.

⁶于是，以撒就住在基拉耳。

⁷The men of the place asked him about his wife. He said, “She is my sister,” for he was afraid to say, “My wife,” lest, he thought, “the men of the place might kill me for Rebekah, because she is beautiful to look at.”

⁷那地方的人问起他的妻子，他就回答：“她是我的妹妹。”因为他不敢说：“她是我的妻子。”他心里想：“恐怕这地方的人，因利百加的缘故把我杀了，因为她容貌美丽。”

⁸It happened, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was caressing Rebekah, his wife.

⁸以撒在那里住了很久。有一天，非利士人的王亚比米勒从窗户里向外观望，看见以撒正在爱抚他的妻子利百加。

⁹Abimelech called Isaac, and said, “Behold, surely she is your wife. Why did you say, ‘She is my sister?’” Isaac said to him, “Because I said, ‘Lest I die because of her.’”

⁹亚比米勒于是把以撒召了来，对他说：“你看，她实在是你的妻子，你怎么说是你的妹妹呢？”以撒回答他：“因为我心里想：‘恐怕我因她的缘故丧命。’”

¹⁰Abimelech said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us!”

¹⁰亚比米勒说：“你向我们作的是什么事呢？人民中间险些有人与你的妻子同睡，那你就把我们陷在罪恶里了。”

¹¹Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, “He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”

¹¹于是，亚比米勒吩咐全国人民，说：“凡是触犯这人或是他的妻子的，必被处死。”

¹²Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. Yahweh blessed him.

¹²以撒在那里耕种，那一年丰收百倍，

¹³The man grew great, and grew more and more until he became very great.

¹³他就日渐昌大，越来越富有，成了个大富翁。

¹⁴He had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and a great household. The Philistines envied him.

¹⁴他拥有羊群、牛群和很多仆人，非利士人就嫉妒他。

¹⁵Now all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth.

¹⁵他父亲亚伯拉罕在世的时候，所有由他父亲仆人挖的井，非利士人都塞住了，填满了土。

¹⁶Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go from us, for you are much mightier than we.”

¹⁶亚比米勒对以撒说：“你离开我们去吧，因为你比我们强大得多了。”

¹⁷Isaac departed from there, encamped in the valley of Gerar, and lived there.

¹⁷以撒于是离开那里，在基拉耳谷支搭帐棚，住在那里。

¹⁸Isaac dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father. For the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham. He called their names after the names by which his father had called them.

¹⁸他父亲亚伯拉罕在世的时候，仆人所挖的水井，在亚伯拉罕死后都被非利士人塞住了。以撒重新挖掘这些井，仍然照着他父亲所起的名字叫它们。

¹⁹Isaac’s servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.

¹⁹以撒的仆人在山谷里挖井，在那里挖得一口活水井。

²⁰The herdsmen of Gerar argued with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, “The water is ours.” He called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.

²⁰基拉耳的牧人与以撒的牧人争闹起来，说：“这水是我们的。”以撒就给那井起名叫埃色，因为他们与他相争。

²¹They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. He called its name Sitnah.

²¹以撒的仆人又挖了另一口井，他们又为这井争闹起来，因此以撒给这井起名叫西提拿。

²²He left that place, and dug another well. They didn’t argue over that one. He called it Rehoboth. He said, “For now Yahweh has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”

²²以撒离开那里，又挖了另一口井；他们不再为这井争闹了，他就给那井起名利河伯，因为他说：“现在耶和华给我们宽阔的地方，我们必在这里繁盛起来了。”

²³He went up from there to Beersheba.

²³以撒从那里上到别是巴去。

²⁴Yahweh appeared to him the same night, and said, “I am the God of Abraham your father. Don’t be afraid, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your seed for my servant Abraham’s sake.”

²⁴那天晚上，耶和华向他显现，说：“我是你父亲亚伯拉罕的　神；你不要怕，因为我与你同在；我必为了我仆人亚伯拉罕的缘故，赐福给你，使你的后裔增多。”

²⁵He built an altar there, and called on the name of Yahweh, and pitched his tent there. There Isaac’s servants dug a well.

²⁵以撒就在那里筑了一座祭坛，呼求耶和华的名；又在那里支搭帐棚；以撒的仆人也在那里挖了一口井。

²⁶Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his army.

²⁶以撒与亚比米勒立约亚比米勒和他的朋友亚户撒，以及他的军长非各，从基拉耳来到以撒那里。

²⁷Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, since you hate me, and have sent me away from you?”

²⁷以撒问他们：“你们既然恨我，把我从你们中间赶出来，为什么又到我这里来呢？”

²⁸They said, “We saw plainly that Yahweh was with you. We said, ‘Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let us make a covenant with you,

²⁸他们回答：“我们实在看见耶和华与你同在，因此我们想：‘不如我们双方起誓。’让我们与你立约吧；

²⁹that you will do us no harm, as we have not touched you, and as we have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace.’ You are now the blessed of Yahweh.”

²⁹你不要伤害我们，正如我们从来没有触犯你，只有善待你，让你平平安安地离开。现在你是蒙耶和华赐福的了。”

³⁰He made them a feast, and they ate and drank.

³⁰以撒就为他们摆设筵席，他们就一起吃喝。

³¹They rose up some time in the morning, and swore one to another. Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.

³¹第二天，他们清早起来，彼此起誓；以撒就送他们走，他们平平安安地离开他走了。

³²It happened the same day, that Isaac’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, “We have found water.”

³²那一天，以撒的仆人来把他们挖井的事告诉他，说：“我们找到水了。”

³³He called it Shibah. Shibah means “oath” or “seven.” Therefore the name of the city is Beersheba Beersheba means “well of the oath” or “well of the seven” to this day.

³³以撒就给那井起名叫示巴，因此那城名叫别示巴，直到今日。

³⁴When Esau was forty years old, he took as wife Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hittite.

³⁴以扫娶二妻以扫四十岁的时候，娶了赫人比利的女儿犹滴，和赫人以伦的女儿巴实抹为妻。

³⁵They grieved Isaac’s and Rebekah’s spirits.

³⁵她们二人常使以撒和利百加伤心难过。
